Lost the USB device

My cat in a panic attack knocked my PI 4 from my desk. And caused the Z-Stick Gen 5 (old version) to come out. Now this stick is connected via a USB adapter (because it does not work when connected directly to the PI). That adapter has 4 ports.

The error I get is:

Failed to set the Z-Wave JS add-on options: not a valid value for dictionary value @ data[‘options’]. Got {‘device’: ‘/dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00’, ‘s0_legacy_key’: …

Question 1, does it matter which port of the adapter is used? Or is that usb address specific for one of the ports?

In terminal when I do ‘lsusb’ I get this:

It is not showing any devices connected to these usb ports. And one port has the USB adapter and the other a SSD.

How can I figure out what is wrong? I assume the stick is working fine.

You should have the Z-Stick on an extension cable and then have the extension plugged into your powered USB hub. That being the case, see what USB’s are connected to your system from Settings → System → Hardware → All Hardware and you can verify that your Z-Wave JS is on the correct port matching that information in Z-Wave JS → Settings → Z-Wave → Serial Port.

If you changed anything regarding how it was set up pre-cat issue and post-cat issue then you probably need to reconfigure the port Z-Wave JS is looking to for the stick.

If not done try power cycling the PI and USB hub. Sometimes when unplugging and replugging a stick it gets assigned a different address.
